Zotero Style Editor: xml line break

gsjal

What code does the Style Editor accept as a line break?

I'm trying to create an annotated style and want a line break before <text variable="note"/>.

I've tried display=block, XML carriage return (can't get it to display in this comments field), XML line feed (same), CDATA ... and haven't yet found anything that works.

display="block" will work in the actual style, even if the editor doesn't take it. Go with that.

I think that line break is not in CSL specification. But display="block" should be work. As you can see in style APA 6th with abstract https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=APA%206th%20abs (code line:547)

Thanks for the recommendations. I'm going with <text variable="note" display="block"/> ...

... but Word>Insert Bibliography - using my custom style - generates this:

"CSL error: Level mismatch error: wanted bib_first but found_other"

Any suggestions?

LiborA

use validator http://validator.citationstyles.org/ to find your error

gsjal

My style validates for 1.0 and 1.0.1, though not for 0.8.1 - and Insert Bib still generates "Level mismatch error". Appreciate any further suggestions.

Send your code on gist.github.com

adamsmith

could you share the style? We've never seen that error. (put on gist.github.com as a private gist or something along those lines)

Thanks for taking a look

It looks like second-field-align="flush" is incompatible with the <text variable="note" display="block"/> line (which makes kinda sense, since they're contradicting instructions). Removing the former fixes the error.

adamsmith

(still, it shouldn't break as long as it's validating, so we should either be explicit about this being disallowed or ask fbennett to look into fixing it).

Rintze

Sure. Can't really test for this in the schema, though, unless we add another Schematron rule.

fbennett

Second-field-align is essentially shorthand for setting a display attribute on the first-rendered variable, and another on a group wrapping everything else. Using both methods at the same time shouldn't crash the processor (I'll fix that), but output may look weird.

gsjal

Removed second-field-align="flush" ... Now, trying to add the style at Preferences>Cite>Styles generates "not a valid style file". Help?

LiborA

I only delete second-field-align="flush" from your code on gist.github and all work ok. (I only do not see any note).
